Odometer not working 1997 land Cruiser (1 Viewer)

[shocktower]

Ok so my trip meter has not worked for years, and I am frustrated with it not functioning, I did a search here and google and got very little, so I know there has to be someone here, that knows how to fix it, I think it is a stepper motor failure, but I am not sure. Thank you

Have you checked the connector on the transfer case? You will have three but it isn't one of the two that are on the top of the transfer case, it will be the one sticking out the side. Probably wet from the oring leaking

Haven't pulled an odometer apart myself yet, but IIRC one person found a bit of foam from around the reset shaft/button that had gotten stuck in the small gears which prevented the Odo from moving??

In another situation the small gear teeth had fractured, IIRC.

I'm in the same situation (odo getting stuck) so it seems the answer is to pull the instrument cluster and take a look.

If your speedo part still works, it's most likely your gears in the reset trip odometer button section.

I researched this issue years ago and I "pounded" on my reset button while rolling down the road and all at once my odo started working again. I have since put black tape around my reset button so no one pushes it and pushes the broken plastic parts back into the gears.

Some day I'll need to open it up and then probably get a new/used assembly.

Ok I guess I was not clear, but it is only my trip meter the Odometer works fine

Ok I have another Odometer I will swap them out that has good gears

I don't think that's as easy as it may seem.

There's a thread or two on here where someone detailed his adventure of replacing the ODO of one with another. It was not a small undertaking.

Yeah I found out trying to do it, and I now have no speedometer working

Do you need parts to fix it. I'll be in Newberg Sunday possibly into Monday

Sticky Odometer and Trip Odometer finally fixed on my FZJ80

I bought my first Toyota Land Cruiser, well first Toyota really, about a year ago. I have had a few little things that have bugged me on and off sense I've bought it. I guess little problems are to be expected in a vehicle with 281,000 miles. Today I tackled the P0402 code (fixed it but I've...

I bought a spare cluster off of the classifieds here and followed this with no problems.

Good luck.
